Muehlenbeckia astonii

 * ... that the endangered New Zealand shrub Muehlenbeckia astonii is also known as zig-zag plant and wiggy-wig bush? Source: "It sometimes goes by the names wiggy-wig bush, zig zag plant, wirebrush, shrubby pōhuehue, or mingimingi (a generic term for many small-leaved shrubs)" (Given 2001 and Endangered Species Foundation (n.d.) respectively, cited in article)
 * ALT1:... that Muehlenbeckia astonii is a popular garden plant, but is endangered in the wild because many male and female plants are too far apart to cross-pollinate? Source: "In most of the sites it is known from there are only 1–3 old plants, and almost no seedlings: male and female flowers occur on separate plants and need to cross-pollinate, so isolated individuals cannot reproduce. Several small populations show no out-crossing because males and females are too far apart."  Muehlenbeckia astonii, Shrubby tororaro (Muehlenbeckia astonii Petrie) recovery plan 2000–2010

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article has been expanded fivefold, is more than long enough and has no copyvio issues. Both hooks are inline sourced and the user does not need a QPQ review. Good to go. Kosack (talk) 18:46, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you want to use the image here? It might work well with ALT0. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:15, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought about that, but the features of the plant don't show up on 120 x 133 px. Is it against the rules of DYK to use a cropped version of the article image? —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 07:55, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It's fine to use a cropped image, provided that the cropped image is also used in the article. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:36, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
